About Big Rock:

Large granite slab rising above the shores of Lake Perris that's long been a popular area to introduce beginners to the sport. Mostly bolted slab routes from 5.0 to 5.11+, although most are 5.10 and under. This is a very popular area, especially on the weekends, so plan accordingly. Climbing season runs fall-spring, with summer being far too hot and unpleasant.
